Magnaflow clamps torque. Someone knows??
Hi, I just installed my new Magnaflow cat-back but I 've 2 questions:

1.- Clamps torque
2.- Clamps bolt position. I put bolts in vertical position with nuts at bottom. Any preference about this?


Thanks in advance,


Denis V.

1) Rule of thumb for torque on 3/8" nc bolts is 20-25 ft lbs.

2) Position clamps and bolts to provide best ground clearance while not touching any other part of the car.

Exactly. I will put the threaded parts up, sideways so there is no risk of them catching anything and not touch anything on the car

Yes, I agree, but I'm interested in exhaust "look" too, with all clamps bolts in a perfect row with the same position.

Re: Magnaflow clamps torque. Someone knows??
Then why did you ask what position they should be in? You'd rather, potentially, grab things off the road and "see" them lined up? Every one I ever aimed at the ground always got chewed up :shrug:
